Accommodation providers will have standout opportunity to participate in a major promotional event gaining exposure to millions of travelers
SINGAPORE, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating 20 years of Agoda, the digital travel platform is inviting hoteliers and accommodation providers across the region to participate in a landmark 20th Birthday sales campaign leading up to the special occasion on May 19.
The celebration promises to be the platform's most ambitious strategic promotion yet, uniting partners and travelers through a raft of exclusive deals across accommodation, flights and activities. The special birthday sale will offer travelers worldwide exceptional savings of up to 60% from May 7-20, with exclusive discounts up to 70% on May 21.
Partners will be offered a significant opportunity to increase property visibility, attract and drive demand from high-intent guests, boost occupancy rates and capitalize on Agoda's two decades of market expertise.
This initiative comes as Agoda customers show strong interest for international travel. 87% of travelers expect to take the same number of trips or more compared to 2024, with most of those journeys involving crossing international borders (52%).
"For 20 years, Agoda's mission has been to make travel more accessible while delivering greater value to our partners who have been with us from the beginning and as we grew," said Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply at Agoda. "This campaign is not just a celebration, it's another way for our hotelier partners to connect with international travelers through our world-class technology and deep understanding of local markets."
Over the years, Agoda's journey has been defined by strong partnerships, with around 95,000 accommodations joining the platform in its early years, many of which remain active to this day. This reflects the trust placed in Agoda by its partners, as the platform has expanded to host over 5 million accommodation listings worldwide.
Smith added, "By generating excitement for this campaign, we aim to help hoteliers convert the buzz around our birthday into measurable results."
Agoda's partners are still growing decades later
From its first listing of a boutique hotel in Pattaya to today's global network of 5 million properties, Agoda's growth mirrors the ambition of its partners. The platform now connects customers with over 130,000 flight routes and 360,000 activity providers.
Agoda has spent the past decade building tools that help accommodation partners work smarter, not harder. Through its PartnerHub platform, properties now get access to a range of digital tools designed to help them fulfil their potential. On average, properties using tools like Agoda Intelligence secure 30% more bookings than competitors. By turning complex data into clear business strategies, Agoda helps partners stay visible, save time while growing revenue.
Daren Lee, Director of Revenue at Sunway Putra Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia said: "With 650 rooms to fill, we rely on partners who deliver results—and Agoda has done just that since we started working with them. From starting with just a few thousand nights, we've grown 16 times over the decade. Agoda's consistent performance, data-driven campaigns and dedicated local team support have helped us scale significantly and stay competitive, including during COVID-19 when strong domestic support was critical."
The engine behind the growth
Behind every partner's growth story lies Agoda's digital infrastructure, a constantly evolving system processing vast amounts of data to achieve optimal results for accommodation providers including:
Over the past two decades, Agoda has redefined travel by empowering its partners and unlocking unforgettable experiences for explorers worldwide.

Powered by the team behind Southeast Asia's premier AI builders, MWX prepares to launch an agentic, self-serve AI marketplace, removing barriers and opening access to ready-to-use AI for the world's 400 million SMEs
SINGAPORE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MWX today announced its upcoming global launch, introducing the world's first decentralized, open-access AI marketplace designed to bring powerful, ready-to-use AI tools directly to SMEs, without intermediaries or gatekeepers. Targeting the world's 400 million SMEs, MWX is positioned as a transformative platform that bridges AI access by enabling business owners to deploy enterprise-grade AI solutions with simplicity, transparency, and autonomy.
MWX is built on the expertise and proven leadership of the same pioneers behind MediaWave, Indonesia's most trusted digital intelligence platform. Over the past decade, the MediaWave team has delivered critical AI-powered platforms that supported nationwide projects and major corporations across Southeast Asia. Their track record includes innovations such as Indonesia's first social media monitoring platform in 2010, Asia's first political sentiment AI in 2012, the world's first GenAI political dashboard Pemilu.AI in 2023, and the launch of Reporthink.AI in 2024, automating sustainability and annual reports.
MWX's founding team brings together Southeast Asia's leading AI, digital transformation, and Web3 leaders, including Nanda Ivens, former Tokocrypto CMO and APAC CEO of Mirum Agency, alongside Yose Rizal, the original builders behind MediaWave's award-winning AI products. Together, they are applying their real-world enterprise experience to create an open, decentralized AI economy purpose-built for SMEs. Supported by global advisor Pandu Sastrowardoyo, the team is focused on removing the friction that has kept AI locked behind corporate firewalls.
Through MWX's agentic AI marketplace, where next-generation AI agents are designed to act with autonomy, proactivity, and the ability to make decisions on behalf of users, SMEs will soon access self-serve AI services that automate key business functions through intuitive AI solutions and APIs. This empowers small business owners to deploy AI agents that can autonomously interact with other agents, services, and platforms. Built for interoperability, these AI solutions and APIs enable seamless integrations across tools and systems, creating connected, frictionless workflows that scale with business needs.
"At MWX, we are building on the legacy of AI that has served multinational corporations, but now we are doing it for the 400 million SMEs, which is the backbone of the world's economy," said Nanda Ivens, Co-Founder and CEO of MWX. "This is about opening the gates to technologies that were once inaccessible and making them work for real businesses, in their daily operations, at their pace. It's not about buzzwords; it's about bringing AI down to earth, letting SMEs own it, use it, and shape it. At the same time, we're enabling AI startups across the region to access global markets, helping them scale their innovations and connect with businesses worldwide."
Pandu Sastrowardoyo, Global Advisor at MWX, added, "MWX isn't just riding the wave of generative AI. Instead, it's built on over 15 years of real-world AI and machine learning tools that are already being used across industries. The platform we're making allows businesses to not just use digital solutions; they also help shape and grow them. We aim to bridge the AI access gap and to lay the groundwork for any small business to adopt AI and ML in a right-sized way."
With a roadmap that includes decentralized finance integrations, analytics dashboards, and business growth insights, MWX is setting itself apart as more than just a platform, it is positioning itself as the digital growth partner for SMEs worldwide, aiming to onboard 1,000,000 SME users and thousands AI startups across the region by 2028. MWX will open private beta access in the coming months, followed by community driven governance.
